That's fine, and I'll continue to poke fun at Gokudera vs Shitt.P or ''Suicide Kitty Balloon Battle'' XDD
And rightfully so. XD
I think there are advantages and disadvantages to most shounen battles, really, but yeah, everyone will inevitably have their own preferences. For really it's not really the character development that makes or breaks a battle for me--I think KHR generally has pretty good character development regardless, which is the main reason I still adore the series despite its magnificent flaws--but the type of action/strategy that's involved in it. I like it when things gets creative and a little more suspenseful/unpredictable, but we haven't seen that as much in this arc (which is understandable, because it's hard to keep coming up with fresh idea after fresh idea). (I wonder sometimes if Amano's been shying away from her more elaborate fights since Choice started out so promisingly but fizzled out so anticlimactically. Ah, well.)
I do have to agree that good character development and a longer, more focused fight is ideal, though. Lambo's fight ended up being my favorite in this arc so far for that very reason. Still, though, I miss the days when the development is combined with action that's well-drawn and really entertaining to read. Yamamoto vs Squalo is probably the best example, and by far my favorite fight in the series. I'm still hoping we'll see something like that again one of these days. :)
